Sadly there is no safe way to invest in ICO's, they are still new and rather unregulated. But the best thing you can do is do your homework into the company and make your own judgement as with any investment. I would also pick a project that you are personally interested. If you know the market personally, you are more likely to know what to look for.

For me here are a few signs to look for in a ICO:-

- Strong team - Both in development team and also the CEO's / marketing (no point having a great team to create something, if nobody can advertsie it and push the startup in the right direction.
- Realistic vision - not aiming too high or if they do not reach their target everyone who invested will be disappointed
- Solid whitepaper - Well thought out, shows realistic goals, a strong good vision and a plan of action
- Strong social media presence - A social media that shows they are connected with everyone
- Good customer support - Shows they care, and they have invested time and money into making sure the average investor can ask questions
- Good website - A business who is willing to throw time and effort into a good website are less likely to be a scam
- finite supply - ICO's with no cap can be dangerous and can simply just damage their own coin by releasing more for more investment.
-Market they are getting involved with - Is this a new market? or a dying one? who controls the market?

Finally
- Good concept and catchy name - A good ethos and a name that makes them stand out. Personally i would avoid anything that is something "coin".

If these are in place, then it's a good sign. I am looking at Crowdholding at the minute, seems like a good upcoming ICO (They are in their pre-sale), which means you can get more for your investment.

There are a lot ICO who writes fery famous and responsible advisers, how does it possible to check is it true or not?

Coz  sometimes we rely on advisers reputation and as a result project - scam.

ICO = scammy distribution

Not 1 ICO till today delivered their claims.

Stay away from any ICO, this is not about crypto, this is about scams.

Do you have experience with investing, you're commenting awfully a lot about crypto being a scam. Definitely, be my guest and stay away as I'm investing!

Not all ICO are scam, many of them really good project and become successful. Only a few ICOs are scam. Its batter to investigate a bit before investing in an ICO. And if you get a right ICO for investment it will earn you some good profit. If you are worried about scam and losing money then do not invest in any ICO, buy some coins which are already listed on exchanges.

What is your think about an ICO project scam or real? I think we always confirm an ICO project is real when it can listed on big exchange or small exchange but the value of it can increase fast in short time. Do you think grow fast in short time is good with the growth of ICO?

I suggest you either visit the company's office launching the ICO or ask a friend who lives in that town to visit it. If you can do that, you can invest in that ICO, or IPO, as a matter of fact.

Otherwise, just stay away, 100% is a scam. Anyone asking you for money needs to be accountable and to respond in front of the law if they mess it up.

I got scammed in 2 ICO's this week alone.

I learned from it and decided to no longer participate in ICO's or their bounties.

Way too risky. (for now at least)

That being said, the reason I participated in the first place is because if ever the coin wasn't a scam.
Getting in early often means getting the coin for dirt cheap and with it, profit.


My suggestion to OP is to simply invest small amounts in multiple ICO's and take the chance
of ICO's scamming or flopping as part of the game. It only takes 1 to win big money.

[Sarcasm]

indeed we must really choose altcoin that we really believe,
I think there is eg ethereum, monero, and others

[skaynet]

the more ico more and more investors are emerging. now ico is held does not take much time to be sold out.

A good thinking. Actually nowadays there so many ICOs are ongoing, it's pretty difficult to choose the right ones. I suggest you go do research and invest your money in right place. Need to be a grown up.

[Tamilson]

It's really hard to tell whether an ICO is scam or not. As many ICO starts well and ended scam. Maybe that's why China banned ICO as there are many illegal crowdfunding and intentional fraud.
So better to take a deep research before you invest in ico, analyze each detail and invest at your own risk.

[eneyardi]

there is no other way to ensure in ICO, as to check the program and team's activity. As for me, promising ICO is easy to identify

Now a lot of ico altcoin project , do projects that can be trusted . This makes i doubt to participate campaign bounty .
Please tell me friend , how saw projects altcoin can be trusted ?

which i always check when i want to join ICO,
- first, if it looks too good to be true (gigantic return), then it's probably not true.
- i always check bitcointalk to see if other interested people can find any dirt in the sky.
- base control: does the team really exist (google/linkedin)? is there an escrow? do i understand the technique or the whitepaper of the project? if i have any doubts about one these three questions, it's a no go.

That's a really difficult question, no one can judge a project could be trusted or could be successful .As you know , too many kinds of scam icos.What I can tell you is how I choose a bounty to participate.
A good idea to solve real prolem, better has a alpha version.
A good developing team .
Some famous advisors.
All of the three factors are required.

make fast updates will make trust and avoid scammers

It's not a good option to decide ico is a scam based on fast updates. Why? because every ico starter will update as fast as they can, they realize about this.

Maybe other option is look into their profile team, advisor, roadmap, are their project achievable or not, and what plan to achieve their goals

Follow to the next rule:

Read the WP (bullshit or not?)
Research team members and talk with them if it possible
What problem does the project solve and project feasibility?
Growth potential
Partners of project
Presence in mass media

Yes indeed since we can just say that an ICO is good if we do see that it is successful but knowing it before specially on choosing up then i would say its really hard to determine which is the right and which is not.This is why we should really do some research it might not be accurate but atleast you do know on where you would able to put your money on not just like on random guessing,you are just gambling with your money if you do on that way.

Almost new investors choose type investment in ICO with the way wait this token listed on exchange and trading, because it proov this token is really project. However, if the exchange this token had listed is small exchange or volume everyday, maybe this project also scammer

I've invested in quite a lot of ICO's recently and until now I've had only 1 that turned out to be a scam. Don't jump on every hype-train and do your research. Join the slack, read their blogs and Whitepaper. If you've got questions, you ask them to the team.
Finding good ICO's could almost be seen as a full-time job.
